Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 250 g fresh raspberries (or frozen if fresh ones are unavailable)
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar (2 for raspberries and 2 for the egg cream)
- 50 ml raspberry or cherry liqueur (for an extra flavor)
- 3 large eggs
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Mint leaves for decoration (optional)

Step 1: Preparing the raspberries
Start by cleaning the raspberries. If using fresh raspberries, rinse them gently under cold running water and let them drain well. In a bowl, mix the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and add the liqueur. This mixture will add a hint of alcohol that will enhance the raspberry flavor. Let the combination sit for 10 minutes to allow the fruits to absorb the flavors.

Step 2: Preparing the cream
Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in a clean bowl and the yolks in another bowl. Beat the yolks with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar using a mixer until creamy and pale yellow. If you want an even more refined taste, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 3: Beating the egg whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. It is important that the bowl is completely clean and free of grease to achieve perfect peaks. Be careful not to overbeat them, or they may turn to vinegar.

Step 4: Mixing the ingredients
Gradually add the yolk mixture to the egg whites, gently folding with a spatula to avoid losing the incorporated air. Once you have a homogeneous mixture, add the whipped cream, gently mixing to maintain the airy texture.

Step 5: Assembling the dessert
In serving glasses or bowls, add a layer of caramelized raspberries, followed by a layer of cream. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, being careful to leave some raspberries for decoration. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour to chill and set.

Step 6: Serving
When you are ready to serve, take the glasses out of the refrigerator. You can decorate each serving with a few fresh raspberries and mint leaves for a special touch. This dessert pairs perfectly with a glass of sparkling wine or fruit tea, offering a perfect combination of flavors.

Variation suggestion: You can replace raspberries with other berries, such as blackberries or blueberries, for a slightly different flavored cream in a glass. You can also add a bit of grated dark chocolate to the egg cream for an extra touch of flavor.

This raspberry cream in a glass recipe is not only simple and quick but also a true delicacy that will add a touch of refinement to any meal. Treat yourself and enjoy every spoonful!
